Web Photo Gallery Templates

I'm trying to track down the template files that DW8 and
Fireworks use to create the web photo gallery. I'm trying to
automate this process as much as possible and would rather have the
album pages created the way I want them to look rather than having
to go back and apply my template to the pages afterwards. Does
anyone know of an easy way to do this?
TIA for your help.

Being as this a DW ng and all I thought you might prefer a DW
plug in that
is incredibly neat and gets you exceptionally professional
looking results.
Does all that you are after (except thumbs down the side) and
is fully
compliant and if you don't like the look you tweak the css
not the gallery,
so no rebuilding involved.

  • Modifying web photo gallery templates

    Hi all! I created a web photo gallery in Photoshop. I want to modify the template so that I can make the gallery look more in line with the rest of the site I'm designing. I see in the Help Center that I need to modify the "tokens" in the html, but I'm at a loss as to how to do this. Is there a site online somewhere that can explain this to me better? Thank you so much!

    Hi Dave! Thanks! I did do a search, but apparently I didn't put in the right search words, as my search didn't turn up anything useful. I'll check out what you sent me.

  • Using Adobe Web Photo Gallery

    I have PS CS4, on a mac, and I added the Web Photo Gallery plug-in.
    This works, but I cannot get PS to make a Web Photo Gallery that reflects the folder structure that I am using.
    PS just dumps all images into one ore more pages, without regard to their source folder structure.
    I want PS to make a home web page that contains just links to web pages that actually contain the images in the sub-folders.
    I do not see an option to do that.
    I have a home folder, which contains sub-folders, and those sub-folder contain the images.
    Does anyone know how to do this?
    Thanks.

    Most CS3 Web Photo Gallery Templates are flash free.  They use straight HTML.  Even the ones the change images automatically just use HTML to refresh the page displayed and change the page to the next image.   The Photoshop Web Gallery Template can be edited and customized to better suit your needs.    Adobe has removed Photoshop's Photo Web Galleries from newer version of Photoshop however the Feature can be installed into the newer Photoshop versions.   Adobe added an output module to the Bridge that can create Web Photo Galleries these are mostly Flash based and not easily customized like Photoshop's old Web Photo Gallery templates.
    IMO there is nothing wrong with Flash Web Galleries other then mobile tablets and phone do not have flash support. I have yet to see any HTML 5 web gallery with features that match Flash Galleries.  I'm not a fan of Flash web sites or Flash games.  However there are many Flash web photo galleries that perform well and have great features.  I do not particularly want to display my images on small web phones.  If you want to see them on a tablet get a windows 8 pro tablet they should have flash support. I put large images in Web Photo galleries fitted for 1600x1200 displays and count on flash to resize them for the users browsers window.
    Here is an example of a Flash web photo gallery. It contains 8 or 9 albums some with additional feature enabled.  All generated in Photoshop with a custom script. http://www.mouseprints.net/albums/
    Resize your browser window see the image sizes change use the menu in the bottom of the browsers window to change album and try full screen support.  I only use Flash for Web Photo Galleries.  I'm not selling so I do not need IOS and Android support.

  • Adobe web photo gallery - flash gallery 2

    I'm using the adobe web photo gallery, flash gallery 2 and I

    referring to the part that after the image preloader is done and
    when the image is transitioning from white into the full image.
    I've gone through the code but to no avail. Can someone help me

  • Lost "Web Photo Gallery" Functionality!

    I  have custom "Web Photo  Gallery"  templates that I have used for years to  present proofs to  clients in an .html web gallery. These are no longer funbctioning in CS5.  Using a third party solution is not an option unless it can use my  pre-existing custom layouts.  Running in 32bit mode defeats the purpose  of  upgrading  to the theoreticlly faster and more robust CS5 and does  not represent a useful solution. My intention  in upgrading was to speed  up my workflow. (And also leave behind CS4's eternally crashing  Bridge.)
    In another thread it was explained that it is not  cost effective to correct this issue, but I feel misled. I was specifically told by sales that this  functionality  was  present. I should have been made aware that in order to work,  I  would need to quit out and reconfigure the software  to 32bit mode  each  time I wish to build a gallery; a solution that is no more helpful  than opening CS4 and building web galleries there.
    I need some sort of definitive solution that does not slow my process.

    I feel your pain about Adobe.. I guess it has become normal to lie to prospective clients or even recurring clients..

  • CS3 Web Photo Gallery index.htm renaming

    I'm not sure if there is a way to change this but if any one know please let me know. I working to modify one of the templates for the Web Photo Gallery, and am wondering if there is a way to designate in the template what to name the index page besides index.htm or index.html.
    I'm working to create a site that will have many photo galleries. And while it does work to have each gallery in its own sub directory with the main gallery page named index.htm. I would prefer to have the main gallery page renamed during the automation process for easier archiving.
    Let me know if anyone know if this is possible.

    >Anyway, renaming the files should not pose a problem, if you do full links. I just wouldn't do it for web galleries created automatically from PS.
    There are could be hundreds of subpages in a gallery and I'm trying to avoid going back and redoing the link to each of the main pages. Every subpage points to the main page or the index page that PS creates. I can go and manually rename the index page but then the home button that is generated during the automation on each of the sub pages needs to be changed as well. I'm trying to avoid this.
    Let me explain what I'm trying to accomplish. In the root of the domain I plan on having my index page (with a brief description about the company). Then I plain to have a few other pages including a gallery page. This is going to be the main page for all my galleries. Images will be places here that will link to the main page of each of the galleries that are created. Also on the root there will be a folder named "XYZ". This is were all the galleries will be placed under there own sub folders.

  • Need Expertise on Custom Photo Gallery Template

    Hello there - this question isn't really just Mac specific, but I don't see a forum that will post to ALL Photoshop users.
    I'm in need of some help customizing a Photo Web Gallery in Photoshop. I've done one entirely without tables, using my own CSS to style it. My thumbnail page would be similar to the coding for the index page of the Lightbox styled gallery in this tutorial: www.photoshoplab.com/lightbox-web-photo-gallery.html
    However, my problem is that even though my design doesn't use tables, when I'm in the automation dialogue in Photoshop, it still shows the table row and column parameters - greyed out - from the last time a table-based gallery template was used. And Photoshop is using this info to decide how many thumbnails to put on the gallery index page. It simply multiplies the row * column to limit the number of thumbnails on that first page. Very odd and not very nice looking, as it won't finish a row this way.
    I notice the Lightbox styled gallery template does away with the table for the thumbnails as well. How, then can I gain control over showing "X" number of images per thumbnail page? Say I have a gallery of 40 images - how can I show 20, max, per page? Or 10? Or whatever needs to be specified to suit the number of images in that gallery?
    Also, at runtime, Photoshop is stripping some small but important bits of code out of my customized templates. I've tried to put some HTML elements in to force the "previous next" text below the thumbnails, but it gets stripped out during the generation of the gallery.
    The results can be seen here:
    www.springfieldmo.gov/cityconnect/images/galleries/dating/index.html
    Notice that the first thumbnails page shows 21 images. That's because the greyed out row, column info in the automate dialogue was 3 rows of 7 columns.
    Is there any way to get to the actual code that Photoshop runs to generate the galleries? Seems like that's where it would be looking for the table info.
    Any thoughts? I'd sure appreciate any info you can give or point me to someone who has done a pure CSS automated Photoshop gallery.
    Sincerely,

    Thanks Curt, In fact I think I have found the files under
    user\Application Data\Adobe\Bridge CS5\Adobe Output Module\MediaGallery\
    I got there as a result of your suggestion and although I didn't find /roaming/ I did find the following directories
    /document1/
    /preview/
    /previewinbrowser1/
    So I am guessing these contain the files I need to work with.  Some of the files are json files which is a bit new to me but I think there is a fair bit of resource around about it.

  • Embed Web Photo Gallery in ASPX

    I've been trying to embed a generate Web Photo Gallery (default Flash based one) into an ASPX web page using LR3.2. I actually have a Master Template setup. I realize that the generated code is intended to be used as a stand-alone HTML web page. Has anyone had much luck embedding content from the generated Web Photo Gallery into an existing webpage. Any tips or samples would be appreciated.

    Thanks John. I was able to get things up and running via iframes. Now, if I could figure out a way to remove the header they use on top of the Flash templates to get some extra room, that would be great .
    I think the existing templates are good, but I hope they add more refinements down the road. 

  • Web Photo Gallery in PS CS4

    They are recomending that you use Bridge for web galleries, but I have always liked the way PS did them.
    There is a plug in called "Web Photo Gallery" included with the programme that allows you to use the old method, which I have put it in the plug in folder as instructed. However I get a message that there is no template for a web photo gallery when I try to go Automate-web gallery.
    Can anyone point me as to what I am doing wrong or not doing.
    Thanks

    You have to load the templates for the old method too! CS4 doesn't use them.
    This is what the instructions say:
    Web Photo Gallery
    The ability to create a Web Photo Gallery is now available in the Adobe Bridge CS4 OutputModule. We highly recommend creating your Web Photo Galleries this way. If you would like to continue using the legacy Web Photos Gallery plug-in (WebContactSheetII), please follow these steps:
       1. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Optional plug-Ins/Automate/WebContactSheetII plug-in into the //Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plugins/Automate folder
       2. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Presets/Web Photo Gallery folder into the //Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets folder and then restart Photoshop.
    Note: See below for a movie demonstrating the above steps.
    Optional: To add this legacy functionality back into Bridge (as a menu item):
       1. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Optional plugins/Bridge Startup Scripts/photoshop_web_contact_sheet folder and photoshop_web_contact_sheet.jsx file into following locations:
              * Mac OS: //Library/Application Support/Adobe/Startup Scripts CS4/Adobe Photoshop/
              * Windows XP: //Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Startup Scripts CS4/Adobe Photoshop/
              * WindowsVista: //Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Adobe/Startup Scripts CS4/Adobe Photoshop/
       2. Restart Bridge.

  • Web Photo Gallery in CS4

    I know the Web Photo Gallery has been removed from PS CS4 and put into Bridge. However, I created a few templates I would like to keep. Is there any way besides using CS3 that I might do this in Bridge? Is there going to be a way in Bridge to create additional web modules?

    Cindy:
    If you dig really deeply (10 levels down!) in your Library folder you will find the templates for the new Bridge Galleries. You can also use the Lightroom templates in Bridge CS4.
    Library/Applications Support/Adobe/Bridge CS4 Extensions/Adobe output Module/mediagallery/resources/templates/07lightroomgallery/styles
    I duplicated one of the enclosed Styles and dragged it to the Desktop;
    opened it in GoLive (because I like the way that GL displays html code although any text editor will do);
    edited the code to give me the background colors, text and image frames that I wanted; and Saved the file with a new but similar name (starting with next two digits in the series and with the .xml suffix) in the same location as the original.
    And it works!
    You may be able to put your existing templates in the appropriate areas.
    Or, you could install the Optional Plug-ins which let you use the Photoshop/File/Automate
    web galleries and put your old templates wherever you kept them for CS3.
    WARNING:
    You should be perfectly safe doing this but if you screw-up CS4 and have to re-install it I accept no responsibility!!!!!!!

  • Using CS3 Web Photo Gallery Control Panel in Bridge CS4?

    I found where the styles are located in the library, and it doesn't look like the old templates will work with the new Output feature of Bridge. I want to use my old templates from CS3 that I have customized, and would like to use them with Bridge. I have installed the extra Goodies, but they will only work through Photoshop, not Bridge.
    Is there a way to have Bridge>Tools>Photoshop bring up the legacy version control panel for the Web Photo Gallery?
    Thank you:)

    Hi Paul,
    I'm not a Lightroom user, but the new Web Photo Galleries that come in CS4 are in Bridge. They are Lightroom templates, so there's probably not much difference. I just tried building a gallery in CS4 Bridge with 35 files, and I could not preview more than 10 either through Bridge or in a browser by pressing the preview button. The only way to preview the entire gallery before uploading was by saving the folder, then opening the index file in a browser.
    Web Photo Galleries can be created in Photoshop and Bridge CS4 just like they were in previous versions of Photoshop and Bridge. You do need to configure it using the optional Goodies files since it is not part of the initial installation. It's real easy. The link I posted above has more information. Here it is again:
    http://generatex.com/cs4.html
    If you do that, you'll have the best of both worlds. You'll have the option of creating web photo galleries with html templates in Bridge or Photoshop CS4, previewing them easily (regardless of size), and have the option of using the new Lightroom flash templates in Bridge CS4.

  • DreamWeaver CS3 Web Photo Gallery Help

    I bought the Adobe Web Design package to put together a good
    (hope springs eternal) Web site to showcase about 60 oil paintings
    that are presently available at different poster sites. I am a
    novice to DreamWeaver; started my basic web page. I now need to add
    the photos in 6 different galleries - landscapes, waterscapes, etc.
    I assumed I was going to do this in Photoshop CS3/Fireworks and
    import it to the site I am building with DreamWeaver, but 2
    problems confront me:
    (1) I could not find a Photoshop CS3 photo gallery template
    that allows for a text paragraph adjacent to a larger image when
    clicking on thumbnails laid out on the side or the bottom of the
    page, or am I wrong?
    (2) It appears that Photoshop CS3 generates an independent
    web page for the photo gallery - is it even possible to import a
    photoshop cs3 web gallery into an existing DreamWeaver CS3 web
    page?
    Appreciate any info in this area. Thanks.

    Dunno as I do not have CS3; but I've used Photoshop a lot to
    generate
    galleries, then I modify them. I think your main sticking
    point is
    that you haven't found a Photoshop gallery that is close to
    what you
    want, is that correct?

    What's to import? Photoshop outputs web pages and DW edits
    web pages.
    Edit away.

  • "automate web photo gallery" missing in Photoshop CS4

    Just thought I upgraded from my CS2 photoshop and realize I can't automate the very practical web photo galleries anymore? I tried to transfer the added plugin from the additional "goodies" file into the photoshop automate plugins BUT a message pops up saying: "There is NO template folder to run Web Photo Gallery"
    Can anyone help??
    Thanks,

    Remember to install the Picture Package too.
    Additionally, make sure you have updated to Photoshop 11.0.1 and applie the update to AOM, the Adobe Output Module.

  • Flash-Web Photo Gallery

    I am trying to create a flash web photo galler using the Automate>Web Photo Gallery in CS2.
    I want to mix the features of the 2 existing options.
    In Flash Gallery 1, the thumbnails are listed as small icons in multiple lines and are magnified when the mouse hovers over them, like the dock in OS X.
    In Flash Gallery 2, the meta data listed in the xml file is displayed only if you explicitly click on the info button, and it is below the picture.
    I need these 2 options together. The rest of the options are not a problem I can go either way.
    Is there another Flash Gallery that will combine these two options?
    If not:
    Is there a way to modify the flash file to accomodate this?

    Google "Flash Gallery Templates", you'll see 2.4M links.
    Back to levonk's original question... sounds like you're trying to do what I'm trying to... alter the Flash files used to generate the Web Photo Gallery Flash Gallery 2.
    Here's my question, similar to yours:
    How do i open the "gallery.swf" file to alter Photoshop Flash Web Photo Gallery?
    Built Web Photo Gallery in Photoshop CS2's Automate. It turned out OK, and I made adjustments in the "index.html" and "galleryconfig.xml" files in a text editor (BBE).
    Now, I'd like to alter the template's .swf file but can't open it as it's "protected".
    It would be nice to be able to set up a new template that does exactly what I intend, without altering the other files. But I can't open the protected "gallery.swf" file to make changes. Can someone help? Does Adobe have an unprotected copy of that file I can fiddle with? Is there some "trick" to open a copy of that file? I could learn a lot and make it easy to repeat results for a site. Any assistance most appreciated!
